Okay so the day is just about here! Leaving from work tommorow around 2. As far as making my car secure on the trailer. Where are the best spots to chain without doing any damage. The aluminum car trailer I have has chains on all 4 corners. I've used a dolly most before which has the straps over the tires. This being a little different just don't want to screw anything up.
On a different note I will be heading to Gilroy to pick up my car. Driving most the way friday night. GOing to get a room somewhere off I5 friday night. Hopefully pick my car up around 9-10 on Saturday. I'd be up for a round of Golf on Saturday if someone on the I5 corridor wants to play. I'd also be up for meeting for some grub somewhere. I'll be stopping at willow springs on the way back north Saturday. Couple 914 guys racing this weekend there. Anyway fi anyone want to give me a shout my Cell is 541-510-0086. Thanks for all the helps guys & I'll post better pics asap. -Jamie |

That looks like the way to go. Thanks! I'm assuming this will not cause a problem withthe wheels? Put to much pressure in one spot? Looks like quite a few have done it this way so it must be fine. Where is the best place to get them? What size is best? 2" wide with a ratchet?

Looks like quite a few have done it this way so it must be fine. Where is the best place to get them? What size is best? 2" wide with a ratchet? I have 2" ones with the rachet....the straps streach after a mile or so and the car settles in......you should stop and re-tighten them after a few blocks. Hence why to get the rachet. As where to get them, I bought mine at Princess Auto (a Harbour Freight type store up here) try a like store there 2" webbing is about 12,000 lbs break strength...so 4 (one for each wheel) is plenty for your car. With mine, I set it up with chains on one end of the rachet which goes to the mounting rings on the trailer deck....this way I can shorten that end for other cars.....then I have both long straps and wheel straps. Wheel straps go over the tires and wrap them. The long straps go thru the wheels or on solid wheels I can go thru to the frame. I also have a 2000 lb winch on the trailer for cars that don't run and I use it's cable as a safety strap. |
